description: "John Maurice Read was an English professional cricketer. Harry Altham wrote of him in A History of Cricket, \"Maurice Read had been recognised as a dashing player up to Test match form, to say nothing of being a wonderful fielder in the country.\" A hard-hitting and, according to Lord Hawke, \"magnificent batsman who never had pretensions to be even a moderate change bowler\", Read did little bowling except in 1883, when he claimed 27 first-class wickets including his career best of 6/41 against Kent."
